The MARINER’S MIRROR The International Journal of the Society for Nautical Research Bibliography for 2012 Compiled by Karen Partridge London The Society for Nautical Research 2 The Mariner’s Mirror Bibliography for 2012 Introduction This, the thirtieth annual maritime bibliography, includes books and articles published in 2012, as well as some works published in earlier years. The subjects included are as follows: naval history, mercantile history, nautical archaeology (but not the more technical works), biography, voyages and travel, and art and weapons and artefacts. A list of acquisitions of manuscripts precedes the published works cited, and I am, as always, grateful to The National Archives: Historical Manuscripts Commission (TNA: HMC) for providing this. With regard to books, International Standard Book Numbers (ISBNs) have been included, when available. This bibliography for 2012 was prepared and edited by Karen Partridge. Any correspondence relating to it should be addressed to her at: 12, The Brambles, Limes Park Road, St Ives, Cambridgeshire, PE27 5NJ email: [email protected] The compiler would like to thank everyone who contributed to the present bibliography, and always welcomes the assistance of readers. Introductory note to accessions 2012 In its annual ‘Accessions to Repositories’ survey The National Archives collects information from over 300 record repositories throughout the British Isles about manuscript accessions received in the previous twelve months. This information is added to the indexes to the National Register of Archives, and it is also edited and used to produce thirty-six thematic digests that are then distributed for publication in a number of learned journals and newsletters.
